Morhaime talks change at Blizzard following WoW

i thought blizzard stood for a snowstorm

Now they just need a new franchise.

This guy has some nerve really, some freaking nerve. Really preaching finish your game first right, Blizz rides their name down the throats of any nay sayers.

The game when it first came out was buggy as hell but chalk that up to inexperience right? Then what was freaking Burning Crusades excuses? The class balance is still a joke yet they are balancing PVE around it. I had one quest that literally sat in my quest book forever because it was broken, shall I go into the frame rate problems a good number of WOW fans get if their screens are 20 inch and up?

But ride that name blizz ride it hard, right now they are able to get away with this crap because there is no real competition. People don't choose WOW cause it is the best they choose it because it is the only one.

I don't even want to get into the "Welfare epics" comment given, especially when a good ten percent of wow gamers see end game content, but the rest of the ninety percent of people pay subscription fees so that ten percent can play the whole game, but they aren't the ones on welfare oh no they raid so they are better. So the rest make up for not getting to see the whole plot by doing arena and solo questing, what does a blizz employee tell them? They don't earn what they get and their rewards are "Welfare epics", but I guess that is part of their pursuit of excellence some see the end well the rest pay for mediocrity be glad you get to even pay to play their game am I right?

Their community moderators actually insult the player base when they feel like it because, some classes believe they should be balanced and are tired only having one viable roll in the whole game while a class like lets see.... Warlocks can kill 3 people at once. Blizzard is everything I hate when a good gaming company gets fanboys galore and billions of dollars and blind PR. Literally I could go on for hours about this, but I won't because it doesn't change a thing, not till some company does it better and blizz is forced to reap what they sow. Till then all I can do is rip the same friends I told to start playing back out the game, in an attempt to save them some time and disappointment.

See if I just come on here and say it I will be attacked by Fanboys not saying you are a fanboy Ted, but I am taking precautions.

118 pages talking about patch and Framerate problems right here.

Just in case you don't believe this man said this with all sincerity and truth. Jeff Kaplan lead dev for blizzard.

Like I said I can go on and on, all day long. I am not some angsty teen rebelling against the man, I developed a very strong dislike for this company from their employees and their antics.

The only reason more people don't hate them is because they are no where near as big of a force as nintendo, sony, or MS in gaming. If they were they would get the same sort of hate, but most of the gamers that make up wow player base don't frequent sites like the wow forum or joystiq, they just become jaded and leave. That is why wow is always doing revolving door antics because so many players leave they get that 9million play subscription from new players and multiple accounts, that last part I must admit is my theory but there it is.

I hate to triple post so soon but Kyrra you are so far off about me that it isn't even funny. I rolled onto a regular server at the beginning of wow. Yeah this is before BWL I was there when Dire Maul was put in and people were arguing over DM and DM North or south had to be said if you were looking for group on LFG.

I was there was Strath was a 20 man instance and getting possessed when by instance bosses getting that crapped kicked out of me. I was there before BGs, never in a big raiding guild cause I liked the ideas of pugs, I have quite twice now, once before and now again, I do speak with my wallet now only to get my friends out.

I repeat raiding has never been my thing, neither was the arena, but when content patches and expansions only focus on end game content while the greater fan base of your game is casual I won't shut up and just hand over money, or let others who are uninformed about blizz focus. Blizz knows a lot of people won't speak up afraid of Fanboy attacks I am not one of those people.

Zsavior, find something better and move on. nobody forces you to play this game you hate so much. As far as Blizzard goes, I must say I'm a huge fan, ever since WC2. When WoW came out I didn't get it the first day, first week, or first month. I got it later on in January and thought the game was great. Yes, there were many many many problems and issues with the game and its my first MMO. Though my roomates have played mmos for a long time, I got to see first hand their own frustrations with Everquest or SW: Galaxies. No game is perfect but overall I enjoy wow, though I still play WCIII more than I do WoW. I'm not a fan of the end game content, the endless quest for better gear so you can WTFPWN people. Not into that but each to his own.

"The money a company makes in the short term won't fix a poisoned name in the long run."

so true. i wish more people would get that.

Zsavior is in a dillusional world. Go outside and breath the fresh air once in a while man.

Blizzard games > You --->100%.
